Hmm, well, in retrospect, I'm not exactly sure why I decided to pop into this boba place, seeing…read morethat 1. I'm from San Francisco (one of the boba meccas on the West Coast) and 2. I never really got into the whole boba hype when I was growing up. Still, the prospect of boba on the other side of the Atlantic piqued my interest when I was in the neighborhood... First things first: you'll definitely feel the dollar-to-pound conversion when you peruse the menu. While I am no stranger to paying extra for some of the fancier toppings (like jellies), I was a little disappointed to see that even the boba tapioca balls cost an extra £0.50. (Maybe this is normal outside of the States, where the drink is known as "milk tea" instead of "boba"? Because otherwise I find it hard to believe that boba can be sold without, well, the boba...) I went with the Assam black milk tea because I find that choosing the most basic of milk teas is the best way to evaluate a boba spot. It wasn't as sweet as the basic black milk teas that I usually can find in the U.S. (understandable, as most drinks in the U.S. are probably sugarier). The boba was fresh (to be expected, as I had pay extra for it...) At the end of the day, I had paid £4.50 for the regular size of some pretty average tasting boba. The shop itself is pretty tiny, though the seating is pretty hip-looking.

The shop was packed with customers. It was 30 minutes before closing. I ordered the lychee green tea with popping boba.

My number was called after the long wait and they mentioned that they had run out of popping boba!!! Did not offer to refund the money and asked what I wanted to do!!! I had no other choice as I did not want the regular boba.... I was just ready to take the tea and leave, which is what I did. Nothing memorable about the tea flavor, customer service or lack of, or the experience.

It's a welcoming little spot on Dean St which is now the quieter part of Soho due to Crossrail construction, but it's a perfect place to sugar up and chill out.

I would happily come back and try loads of stuff from the menu, but this time we just got a regular bubble tea with warm hazelnut milk and mango chewy bits (decoco apparently). The cup exploded a lil when we pierced it, but that's no biggie. I'll be back!

I would definitely come here again and try different options. As I was on a Bubble Tea escapade in London, I was trying many different places.

Expect to wait, and expect them to run out of large cups. This is perhaps the only(?) bubble tea place in the area. It's worth the wait if you're looking to quench your bubble tea cravings!

They offered thighs chunks and breasts. I ordered the breasts. They came out super piping hot in a few minutes and they call your number to pick up.
